As Juan Orozco was collaborating with Masaru Kohno
and Sakurai, a comparison with Tama is showing exactly
the same guitars for the world market, Matsumoto on the
right above could have been responsible for these guitars
intended for the world market. Later in time even the
Ibanez Mastercraft series have lots of similarities with
Tama which is of course no coincidence. The wife of the
president of the Ibanez company was called Tama,
hence this chosen name of course. Comparison between
the first batch of Ibanez Artwood guitars around 1980
are showing a lot of similarities with the second batch
of Tama guitars.
